Imagine ten experiences that will make Geneva stay in your heart forever. You will soon see why Geneva is one of the best known cities in the world. But that's just for starters - there are so many other things to explore…
The lakeshore’s star attraction is the water jet, dazzling visitors as it shoots 140 metres into the sky. It is best seen from the Bains des Pâquis, this incredible ‘beach’ in the city centre where Geneva’s smart set meets for a swim, a sauna or to eat a fondue! Another exceptional vantage point: a boat cruise on the lake, offering a unique view of the MontBlanc!
Switzerland’s biggest historical city is overlooked by St. Peter’s Cathedral, the centre of the Reformation movement. 157 steps lead to the top of its tower for a stunning view of the town. Stroll along the backstreets and discover the city’s many historical treasures.
A stone’s throw away from the elegant Place de Neuve in an exceptionally beautiful park, Europe's most important protestant reformers are honoured with four giant statues, reminding us of Geneva’s important role in the history of religions.
More than 50 parks and gardens act as the city’s oxygen tank. The parks located along the lakeshore and the Parc des Bastions are true havens of peace. In Geneva, you find a park or a garden to relax around almost every corner!
The European headquarters of the United Nations have become the centre of world diplomacy. Under the dome of the "Human Rights and Alliance for Civilisations' Room", many secrets are shared.

From fashion to jewellery, the great brands that give Geneva its reputation all have their own boutiques. A shopping paradise at your feet!
